<br /> <br />Fertilization will be determined at final reclamation based on a soils test performed by <br />Colorado State University in conjunction with the Soil Conservation Service. <br />Material for mulching shall consist of hay or straw, oats, wheat, bazley, or rye, and <br />shall be free of noxious weed seeds. At least 50% of the mulch by weight shall be <br />uniform in length. <br />Mulch will be applied to seeded azeas. All newly seeded azeas shall receive a uniform <br />layer of mulch applied at the rate of 2 tons per acre, crimped with a crimper or other <br />approved methods. <br />Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been <br />completed for each phase. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard <br />horticultural practice for dryland applications -generally between late September and <br />the middle of April to assure adequate moisture for germination. Long term <br />maintenance of the shoreline vegetation will be the responsibility of the end user. <br />D. A schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. The schedule <br />shall include: <br />1. An estimate of the periods of time which wiU be required for the various phases of <br />reclamation; <br />Reclamation will proceed concurrent with each phase of the mining. Backfilling, <br />grading and replacement of topsoil will be completed as soon the material adjacent <br />to the pond bank has been removed to a point that will allow shaping of the bank or <br />backfilling of the area. The backfilled areas and regraded banks will be seeded at <br />the earliest appropriate time to ensure there is adequate moisture for germination. <br />2. A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each <br />phase; and <br />Reclamation for each phase wilt consist of backfilling, regrading, replacement of <br />topsoil and reseeding of perimeter banks and backfill areas. This area will consist <br />of approximately 3-5 acres. <br />The final phase will also include removal of the processing equipment. The operator <br />will regrade the area, replace the topsoil and reseed it. It is anticipated that the site <br />access road and haul road will be used for future access to the site. <br />3. An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be <br />carried out. <br />The reclamation sequence will proceed concurrently with mining and will include <br />NCCI Mining Proposal jor the NCCI Pit # 1- MLRB 112Permit <br />21 <br />
